The Jimmy Dean brand of breakfast food won my nod of approval when I found this lovely new entry.

Pancakes & Sausage on a Stick Chocolate Chip pretty much takes what my wife often eats at IHOP and puts it all on a hand-held form factor, allowing junk-foodies like us to revel in frozen food fanatacism.

These are called flapsticks. We used to eat these in public school - but without the chocolate chips. It's basically a corndog but with pancake instead of cornmeal, and sausage instead of a hot dog. They're quite good, quite terrible for you, and I don't know how chocolate chips could but hurt this otherwise ingenious American food.

Are you alright? I mean, seriously. This isn't food! And being a 'junk-foodie' isn't something to be proud of, in case you were unaware. And promoting it, eating junk food in place of natural foods, is going to create a wonderful example for your children. They'll grow up with these fabulous eating habits and I'm sure you'll be proud of them when they weight three-hundred pounds and have high cholesterol and diabetes.

I wish you would take a step back for a moment and realize the real, honest-to-god consequences of your actions.

Do they come frozen or are they fresh from the farm? I'm not too sure about pancakes & sausage on a stick. I prefer pancakes fixed old school style - That way you can wear them as a hat when you've had your fill -

Marketers Gone Wild !! Only in this great country will corporations make products that insulting for the ignorant.

You have got to be kidding me...OMG. Saw this 'thing' on The Daily Show and thought it was a fabricated creation. Cant believe that they could possibly put somethinbg like this out on the market. The day when they bring such garbage to Canada is the day I stop eating. LOL

I first thought this was a joke. I was stunned that such a product exists. And to add insult to injury it was the organic spinach that killed people!!! god help us all.

Allow me from England to comment on my remote understanding of American values, but it seems to me that 230 years after Thomas Jefferson and his co-fathers of the free world founded the world's most successful nation, the beacon of undoing has been lit. How on earth can the armies of the free world fight after digesting this nutritional bunkum?! :-)

I would say all frozen food is all an utter mish mash of unhealthy garbage. The frozen vegtables by themselves might be ok. A lot of these companies try to make out in their advertising that this stuff is good for you, what a crock. Most of the frozen food has MSG in it, another good reason NOT to buy this crap.

"I'd be intrigued to know who, if anyone, would actually buy these. They look and sound foul." -Junior Tracy

What's with the exaggerative drama? I mean, come on! It's not like they're selling chocolate-dipped pork fat on a stick (which actually was quite popular in Ukraine a few years back, sold by street vendors)

It's just sausages and pancakes. What's so bad about that? Sure they're not homemade, which makes it less healthy right off the bat.

But wait, it's on a stick????????? Holy smokes that changes everything!!!

This is the world that we live in now, full of unhealthy garbage. But you can't blame Jimmy Dean when you go to the doctor and get told that you're overweight, a diabetic, have heart disease, etc.

It's so easy to criticize companies like this who capitalize on the short-sightedness of consumers.

Some people are so stupid and will live on microwaveable food, and fast food, and drink a gallon of coke every day.

But when they get sick, these companies get blamed. They're not making America fat, Americans are making America fat.

People just love placing blame for things. Video games turned my kid into a psycho, not my lousy parenting! keep marijuana illegal because my kid got shot by a drug dealer, I don't care if it could be regulated and taxed and sold only with ID by a store clerk instead of some lowlife behind the mall!

And for the record, I think that this looks pretty tasty, but so does a homemade breakfast. Maybe I'll enjoy bad foods like this in moderation, and eat balanced meals, and exercise regularly. I don't think it'll hurt me then

I do not think that i could bring myself to trying something like that, meat and chocolate, yuk

I saw this on the daily show and thought it was fake. Next, lets take a jelly doughtnut with chocolate frosting, wedge it between two succulent Egg McMuffins and lather it in a gravy-pancake batter blend. Wholesome and delicious.

Wow, just wow. I'm finding it really hard to believe that there's actually people out there who are upset about a food item. If it doesn't interest you then don't buy it.

"Pancakes and sausage are okay...but on a !stick! it's blasphamous". Seriously, you people should find more important issues to comdemn.

Go after McDonald's for marketing to children or go try to stop animal abuse.

I'd be more scared at the effects of KFC food or anything found at a fast food restaurant.

But, no, obviously the only thing that is of concern to some of you is that a microwavable food item is on a stick so you don't need a plate or utensils.

To loiseaujoli: Lighten up!To nofoodsnobs and chilefarmer: Amen!

Can't understand why so many people are taking the time to read and contribute to a self-proclaimed "junk food blog" in order to assert their own superiority as being immune to consuming junk food. Why are you wasting your time when you could be out tending your organic farm?

In any event, I just wanted to point out that Sonic sold this product for years and called it "Pancake on a Stick." They stopped carrying it, but thank goodness Jimmy Dean filled the void.

To "me from England": the country that brought us Drippings on Toast, black pudding, suet pudding, and gravy can hardly call pancakes on a stick "nutritional bunkum."

WTF - Note to anyone who eats these: I love Jimmy Dean Choco Chip Pancake & Sausage on a Stick. At first I was a little hesitant, but when I tried them I knew I've found my transporter from a size 16 to a size 18, or even 20, haha! Good thing my fat husband doesn't like them because I can have them all to myself! I've cut out my regular bowl or cereal in the morning. Who needs fiber when you have a laxative!

These things are so good! Well, I've never had the chocolate chip ones, but the plain pancake ones are one of the best inventions ever.

LOL! I too saw this shit on the daily show. i looked it up and the jimmy dean website describes it as

"It’s Jimmy Dean® full-flavored sausage inside a sweet pancake covering — talk about fun on a stick! Just pop these sweet treats in the microwave for less than two minutes to have a hearty breakfast or snack that’s not only filling, but easy to eat and enjoy. Varieties include: original, bluebery & chocolate chip

They mentioned this on The Daily Show and I seriously thought it was a joke...

Companies like Jimmy Dean continue to make disgusting garbage food like this because there is a demand for it. I am all for freedom of choice; however, it is pretty clear that north americans dont have any self control and therefore continue to eat themselves to death

I love Jimmy Deans chocolate chip flavored pancake-sausage! I use them to make a wonderful chocolate chip flavored pancake-sausage cheese casserole.Here is my recipe.You will need 1 box of Jimmy Dean's chocolate chip flavored Pancake Sausage on a stick6 eggs1/2 stick butter1 c shredded cheddar cheeseBeat the eggs in a large bowl. Remove the sticks from the chocolate chip flavored Pancake Sausages; then cut them into bite-sized pieces. Melt the butter in a separate pan. Combine all ingredients in a 9x11-inch casserole dish. Refrigerate and allow to sit overnight. Bake for 30 minutes at 425 degrees. This is also great with maple flavored syrup drizzled overtop. For a different flavor, try Jimmy Dean's sprinkle cake dounut sausage.

Reading all these comments put a smile on my face!!!! People have WAAAY to much time on their hands to worry about a freakin' pancake on a stick - however I have eaten the pancake on a stick and all I have to say is YUMMO! Only in the USA! And to all those nay-sayers out there: hypocrites! The lot of you!

With all the over weight kids in the United States...What are you thinking??? I would NEVER feed my children such junk!

I wonder, is this the first American major-brand food product to combine chocolate and meat? Does anyone know of any precedents to this? I think we may be dealing with a new level in American tastes. As an American living in Slovakia, I can say that it seems like many Europeans are kind of grossed out by American cuisine's sweet + salty combinations (PB&J, sweet BBQ, turkey + cran sauce, etc.) It's important to note that in medieval Europe the sweet vs savory paradigm wasn't nearly as strict as it is now - many dishes featuring combinations of meat and fruit, and many desserts featured meat.

Have you people even heard of a normal, healthy breakfast? You know, like dark bread, porridge/cereals (no, not the sugar-crusted-with-honey-and-chocolate-chips stuff), fresh orange juice, fruits or berries and maybe a cup of coffee.

To me that "breakfast" candy thing you hype about looks like instant vomit. I wouldn't put that in my mouth. Ever.

where can i purchase these pancake combos? walmart only has blueberry...

Only 4g grams of saturated fat per stick. So eat 4 of 'em and you're good to go with you "bad" cholesterol for the whole day.

This is really disgusting. I went onto the website and looked at the ingredients, here they are. As you can see, there are lots of 'chemical' ingredients. I wouldn't even call this real food, I would call it 'edible food like substances'. Because that's what it is. It's disgusting that this product is on the shelves, it's packed full of there bizarre ingredients and it's just disgusting.

LOL Yeah, that was actually the most confusing part for me. On one hand, he's mad because he can't stretch the 12 oz sausage roll to feed his family, and he doesn't want to pay for 2 of them. On the other hand, he makes it sound like the T-bone steak is just a basic mandatory part of his southern breakfast, and that's not putting him over his budget.
